Setting Email Subject

Hi,
I'm using Cp5.5 (but can use Cp6 if required), and I have a click box that when a user clicks it, generates an email to a specified email address.  Is there a way I can specify what the email subject is?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there
Yep, there is! In each class I facilitate I show folks how to do exactly that!
Oh, you need to know now and not want to wait? Okay. Fair enough.
It's pretty simple really. Where you type the email address, you just tack on a question mark followed by the word Subject= and add your desired subject. It should look like this:
[email protected]?Subject=Any subject you like here
But if you try that, Captivate will squawk at you and tell you it's not a valid email address or some other such nonsense. So I have a workaround for that.
Have you ever visited a URL and noticed the browser title bar looking like this?
http://www.SomeDomain.com/Some%20folder%20here/Some%20File.htm
What Captivate balks at are the spaces. It doesn't like the spaces. And those %20 values you see in the URL are spaces. So to get past things and make your email link work, you just insert %20 everywhere you would typically want a space to appear.
Hope this helps a bit... Rick

  • How to set a form field that automatically saves as email subject title

    I am creating a form in acrobat 9 and want the submit to email button to automatically use the information from one of the text fields as the subject title of the email. So when the client submits the form at the end the PO number they have used will automatically be the email subject. Is there any way to do this? I have found an example created using javascript but I am very much a novice with this so I don't know where to start with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated

    1. Current work flow :-In web site the user have to register themselves in the web site and enters his details along with user id, password and email id. Once user
    is registered then he will login with his user id and password. The user id is picked from login control and that set in “SPWeb.CurrentUser” as user id and system uses "Membership.ValidateUser" method to Authenticate user for login. 
    2. New Requirement: we would like to facilitate the user to login with Email id as well as user id. 
    Problem: 
    We replaced "Membership.ValidateUser" method to our own method to Authenticate user with email id/user id and password. 
    When user is login with user id and password it is working successfully but in the case of email id and password –“the email id is picked from user control and set as
    "HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name" but we are not getting “SPWeb.CurrentUser” and it shows null value.” 
    We are able to get user id from database using email id of user. Please help us how we can set user id in "SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser".

  • How to automatically add file name to email subject line

    I just upgraded from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
    Previously, when I sent a form via email in outlook, the subject line of the email automatically filled the file name. With this new version, this no longer happens.
    Is there a setting that allows me to automatically fill the subject line of the pdf with the file name (or some way for me to set the subject line automaticallly)?  Most of my emailed pdf forms go to the same person with the same subject line.
    Thank you for your consideration!

    Unfortunately Adobe lacks the ability to control and access the email attachment file names.
    You can set a standard submit button url action to a mailto command string with a mailto:you[at]yourdomain.com&subject=Your+Custom+Subject+Here
    But you won't be able to know what the file name is to insert it into the subject.
    To have full control over the output, I suggest you submit the data or whole PDF to a server-side script, such as PHP or ASP.net.
    A script can can inject a field values into the custom SMTP email body, subject, recipient lists and attachment file name by parsing the submission or passing values via a Querystring.
    Visit pdfemail.net for online examples and more information on server-side scripting.

  • Is it possible to set a subject in a mailto link?

    It would be nice to set a subject in a mailto link when you create it in Muse. The subject of the mail that is already there for the user, also very handy for the person who receives the mails, to organize and see quickly on which subject the mail was send. This was possible in ancient iWeb….
    Thank you

    Yes, it is possible. Here is the syntax:
    mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello again&body=Predefined body text
    • ?subject=xxx sets the subject
    • &body=xxx predefines an e-mail text

  • Email subject+sender Unknown?

    Hello, 
    This started ocurring since the 15th. Tried to do online chat but after 20mins just said no one's available and try later.
    Subject and sender are blank/unknown. Body has all information in such as header and message, all messy.
    This was in thunderbird so upgraded to latest edition, same problem. Tried setting email up in windows live mail - same issue.
    I am now stuck. Ran virus scans. McAfee/Malwarebytes - nothing.
    Any ideas?

    Not sure if this was sorted, I too have had exactly the same issue since around 18 August, I went to the BT online help and pointed them to this forum only to get the following reply;
    "Sashi Tete : Unfortunately we do not support E-mail client you need to contact our online helpdesk http://www.bt.com/help"
    The email's which don't get through are from ebay, national express, easyjet etc
    I am using outlook express, on windows XP, (so not the same as you) looking at other forums this seems to be a Yahoo e-mail issue with the server mucking up the routeing information ? - given that others are having the same issue I am reassured its nothing I have done to my set up (hopefully) - BT online help not very supportive, if this does not "fix itself" and I have to change e-mail on all my accounts then no longer an incentive to say with BT ! - Sorry this is not a help but maybe a re-assurance that others have the same issue
    If you did find a fix could you post it etc - Thanks

  • Setting mail subject encoding

    Dear All,
    I'm now developing a web client to send email, all things was fine except when I want to set the subject encoding, I really can't get arround it, coz the javamail api I'm currently using is 1.3, and requirement won't let me change it to 1.4.1 to use the message.setSubject(subject, encoding) method. Any ideas?

    What you want is the method

    That method exists in JavaMail 1.3 as well.

  • Sending Registered symbol in the email subject

    Hi,
    I am trying to send '®' mark in the email subject. This is coming properly in some of the email clients, but very few email clients are not able to parse it, they display '?' in place of that.
    I tried with setting the mail type as HTML, but it is applicable only to body of the mail, then I tried with unicode character, no luck with this, and with HTML character set values, no luck with that also.
    Could anyone please tell me how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Suresh P

    so it works with some email clients and not with others.
    Sounds to me like some email clients just can't handle non-ASCII characters in email headers (as if I didn't know that already). Live with it.

  • Diff email subject for diff orgs for Remittance advice email in R12

    Hi All,
    We are upgrading from 11i to R12. AP Remittance advice workflow in 11i was customized to send emails with different subject for suppliers of different operating unit.
    We need to keep this customization in R12. I could find one profile option for setting the subject of the remittance advice which is IBY_FD_SRA_EMAIL_SUBJ. However, it will send the email with same subject to all suppliers. Please help me in finding a way to achieve this.
    Also the workflow in 11i is customized to not to send the notification for zero amount invoices. I could not think of any way to achieve this.
    Any help in this regard also would be highly appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Priyanka

    Hi,
    You could copy those customizations from 11i to R12.

  • Email subject automatically modified in Readsoft WebCycle (workflows)

    Hello,
    We are currently implementing Readsoft WebCycle solution to manage workflows prior to posting supplier invoices.
    We are using the collective emails feature, which allows to send emails once a day to warn the approver of new invoices to process in the workflow.
    There is a customizing step to define the subject for collective emails ( /COCKPIT/WI9 ).
    However, even with the customizing done, when a collective email is created, the email subject is automatically set back to the standard ("WEB CYCLE: Retain 00000000000000 document").
    Has anyone ever faced the same problem ?
    How did you solve it ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joe

    Looks like the appserver needs to grant relevant permission for the webapp. (Standalone java applications have full access to system resources and as such security is not an issue with them).
    Can u try modifying the permissions in the server.policy file for your appserver (which by default is at <creator-install-dir>/SunAppServer8//domains/creator/config/server.policy)?
    Add 'permission java.security.SecurityPermission "insertProvider.SunJSSE";' to the global grant section or in a 'grant codebase' section for the jar in question.

  • Changin iPhoto Default Email Subject Line

    Is there anyway to change the default email subject line, currently set as 'x Great iphotos' when using iphoto in conjunction with my email client to some thing else.

    Yep it is that file. just replace
    email_subject
    in the following line with whatever you want as long as its in quotations eg.
    make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"photos", visible:true}
    I like the comment in the script-maybe Apple's internal bug reporting system needs to be looked at!
    -- We have been having problems with inserting images before the signature.  There seems to
      -- be some sort of bug with attachments.  Even iterating the images backwards and inserting
      -- the images at the "beginning" doesn't work for more than 1 images.  Strange.
      -- Anyway, we note the signature here, remove the signature from the message, and then
      -- set the message signature back at the bottom.

  • Set Email Description (body) with javascript

    I am trying to set the Email description in the OnLoad event of the email form in CRM 2011
    Using this code:
    "Xrm.Page.getAttribute("description").setValue(mailText.toString());"
    In OnLoad of the email form my script is excecuted every time it loads / refreshes the page but the description is sometimes shown and sometimes not.
    Does somebody know about this behavior and may have a solution?

    Thx for your reply. The rest of the code is working. I debuged it about 1000 times. :)
    But here it is:
    function FillEmail()
    var lookup = new Array();
    regObj = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("regardingobjectid").getValue();
    if (regObj != null)
    if (regObj[0].entityType == "new_besuchsbericht")

    var beschreibung = bericht.new_Beschreibung;
    var ansprechName = "";
    if (ansprechperson.Name != null)
    ansprechName = ansprechperson.Name;
    var dateVon = new Date(parseInt(besuchsdatumvon.replace("/Date(", "").replace(")/", ""), 10)).toLocaleString();
    var dateBis = new Date(parseInt(besuchsdatumbis.replace("/Date(", "").replace(")/", ""), 10)).toLocaleString();
    var mailText = "<div style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;\">";
    mailText += "Thema: " + thema;
    mailText += "<br/><br/>";
    mailText += "Ort des Besuchs: " + ortDesBesuchs;
    mailText += "<br/><br/>";
    mailText += "Ansprechperson: " + ansprechName;

    The Subject is set every time and the "alert" in the end is fired after every load of the page.
